The cauldron is a large metal pot for cooking over
an open fire. Cauldrons are a traditional symbol of witches and
witchcraft. They are perfect for items or herbs that will be set
alight during a ritual, brewing potions or burning incense.

The Celts associated cauldrons with fertility and abundance. In
Celtic mythology, Dagda (god of fertility) possessed a magic cauldron
called Undry that could feed the whole earth.

Your cooking will be magic...

Cast iron cauldrons are ideal for slow cooking and have been used
over open fires for centuries. A cauldron is the ultimate alternative
cooking pot and a cauldron feast - with abundant beer and wine -
can be a unique outdoor social gathering. The small cauldrons can
be used for serving condiments or sauces.

These traditional three-legged cauldrons come complete with carrying
handle and lid, and are made of heavy cast iron. With tall legs,
a cauldron is ideal for setting over a campfire and works just
as well over a gas range or burner. The cauldron's round shape
conducts and diffuses the heat over its entire surface so the
food cooks evenly without burning.
